Wearable Treasures from the shores of the Great Lakes! Handmade necklaces and earrings, created using stones from Lake Michigan, Lake Erie and Lake Superior. Makes a great gift for anyone who loves the Great Lakes and would enjoy having a piece of the beach to wear every day. Each item of jewelry is surprisingly lightweight and comfortable to wear. Due to the natural variation in color, shape and size of each stone, each piece of jewelry will be unique. All stones and beach glass are collected and drilled by hand by Caroline Carter, owner of Great Lakes Rock Shop in Ypsilanti Michigan.

Caroline grew up in Michigan and has always loved visiting the Great Lakes, especially Lake Michigan. She has many fond memories of time spent on the beach, skipping stones, body surfing in the waves, and collecting rocks and beach glass. Caroline would always get so excited to find a unique rock or piece of beach glass, because it felt like she was an explorer finding treasure! Today, she still loves spending time near the water and collecting treasures whenever she can. Caroline’s hobby of jewelry making took a new turn when her dad gave her his old Dremel drill and she learned how to drill holes in stone and glass. Caroline uses drilling, wire-wrapping, image transfers, and industrial strength adhesive to make one-of-a-kind Great Lakes Rock Jewelry.
